Our tasting notes are as follows:
Color: White tea
Nose: Opens with green banana fruitiness but peat smoke, cracked pepper, and barbecued spare rib notes come in right behind, ashy yet malty will a coastal freshness reminiscent of our dearly departed 6yo Laphroaig
Palate: Silky entry with sweet smoke, damp earth, and sea salt but there's a light fruitiness, too, with black peppercorns freshly cracked over sliced green apples. A wave of coal dust leads the transition into the finish
Finish: Drying bluestone finish with coal dust, sea salt and lingering peat
On the label: Ashy and meaty with a dirty coal dust note, this pungent Islay single malt has a drying finish with sea salt and lingering peat
